I think what he means is that it's up to each Mozilla contributor to decide what they want to work on. The people who are payed by Netscape to work on Mozilla works on whatever Netscape feels is important. Netscape, apparently, does not feel that this feature is high priority, so the Netscape people work on something else instead. If you want this feature now, you'll have to write it yourself. Sorry, but that's just the way things work.
